Current Sermon Series
April 12, 2026
Our Sermon Round-table Team meets regularly to pray, plan upcoming sermon topics, share insights into scripture texts and possible sermon approaches, and give feedback. I value this team greatly and our discussions are always lively and fruitful. As we discussed the post-Easter sermon series topic over the last few months, I gave them a list of possibilities. One of them brought up the idea of preaching on Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. Then the Holy Spirit began to move. A retired pastor sent me a Youtube link to a lecture by NT Wright on his new book that unpacks Ephesians. Ephesians came up in several conversations I was in. It seemed as if the 'way was opening' as Parker Palmer says. So, this Sunday we will begin a new Easter season series on Ephesians...but with a new twist. I have always wanted to preach continuously through an entire book of the Bible. Ephesians has six chapters. We will start with Ephesians 1:1 and pick up the next week's sermon from where we leave off. This week we will be reading and learning about Ephesians 1:1-6 in this introductory sermon. I look forward to worshipping the risen Christ with you this coming Sunday as we sing, pray, love and care for one another on our journey of faith. One final note is that we have blank notebooks available for pickup in our church lobby. If you'd like to make this your "Ephesians Series" journal, please pick one up, use it to take notes and journal, and take home.
